I have flash loading external images into an empty mc. It seems to work with jpegs but not gifs. Am I missing something?

oh yeah, but incidentaly....
the file extension you use doesn't matter..... a wee bit of security if you want it... I name any external JPGs as *.ond although I'll be changing that now too ;)

if you want to use the transparent property of a gif or an alpha chanel of a PNG, you could insert them in a movie to use the loadmovie action...

Just remember about the progressive JPG's dilema also!

never use a TIFF!

Or CIF

if you cant get around using gif files, you may use php to generate a dynamic swf from the gif files (after letting php convert it to jpg via gdlib)...
